Another day, another adventure. Learned more than I had ever wanted to know about fstab, but now can see the vfat partitions in Linux.
Having trouble with browsing from personal account. Can run Netscape from root account, and if I log off root and on as myself can then run Konqueror. As now set up, root uses Gnome on startx, I as regular user get KDE, which is fine. Somehow fooled the system into thinking the hostname of my computer was the name of my ISP's mailserver....... changed that, but don't know what other consequences there are. KDE screen locked when I tried to dial out as myself. Getting very familiar with the reset button, but don't see indication of much damage. Booted with parallel port tape drive attached and with a tape, but no sign that kudzu recognized it. No problem with Zip drive, CD, and floppies. Set them for users access so I don't have to log in as root to use them. Wonder where I check out what Linux thinks of my external modem on serial port for dialup..... I'm confident there are a few incorrect settings to be ferreted out and fixed, but the fingers are learning shell commands.
